Generative AI Disclosure Tool
We strongly encourage you to use the AI Usage Label tool which is free to use and was developed by Dr. Faraz Forghan Parast who is a Fellow at the University of Victoria, Electronic Textual Cultures Lab (ETCL). It will help you to disclose how much and how you used AI in your research work, and using it can also help you reflect on the different ways you may or may not be using AI tools in your research process.
